THEY Will INVESTIGATE.
Dakota TO Visit minneapolis. and
Then Enact Grain saws.

The Market Record is authority for the
statement that party of business men in
Dakota has been made up to come TO Min
neopoliS to look into the system of handling
wheat on the Minneapolis g. Pacific road,
with a view to legislation in Dakota that
will compel railroads to provide means for
handling grain at country stations without
forcing it through private elevators. These
gentlemen say if the railroads would in good
faith set cars on side tracks for farmers or
others to load. there would be no necessity
for compelling the roads to provide ware
houses to handle it Though. Some Of the
roads have notified their agents to distribute
cars according to the amount OF wheat the
d tferent elevator men have in their houses.
For instance, if one man has an elevator
containing 80, 900 bushels and another with
a small elevator that holds but 10, 900 BUSH
els. they both calling for cars to ship out
their wheat, the one with the small house
gets one car to the others i've cars. A
farmer having his wheat in granary, they
claim. gets no car, because his wheat is not
yet offered at the station. With the aid of
the railroad the man with the big house,
they say, is able to monopoliZe the wheat
business at such a station. The plan of the
Minneapolis 81 Pacific of providing houses
Of its own seems to be regarded with much
favor by farmers and grain men independ-
ent of elevator companies in Dakota. The
party that is coming to investigate this
method expects to get from it a plan
for framing the bill they purpose putting
through the Dakota legislature this winter.

EXPOSITION DATES
Not Yet Legislation at

WaShingtOn--Ehe Outlook Fine.
The special business before the board of
directors of the Exposition Yesterday was
the consideration Of the time for holding
the next exhibition. The dates had been
fixed at Aug. 81 to Oct. Is, but at the last
meeting an effort was made to reconsider
that action. and fix the time of opening a
week earlier. Nothing was accomplished,
and the matter was made special order for
yesterday. A committee representing the
agricultural dealers of the Northwest was
present and presented petition asking that
the Exposition be opened III time to have it
in good running order during the state fair,
because many of the people most interested
in their goods would attend the fair. and,
of course. if the Exposition was open they
would all come.
j. P. McGaughey's letter, printed in
yesterdays GLOBE, relative to the presence
of the national assembly of the Knights of
Labor in the city in October, and asking that
the exposition be kept open until the 18th.
as at present ordered, was read and created
strong impression on the board. No
quorum was present, and definite action
was deferred until Friday at II o'clock, to
which time all adjournment was taken. 1t
was developed. however. that all present
favored having the exposition open as early,
if not few days earlier, than the state
fair. and no one wanted it closed sooner
than Oct. S. E. A. Merrill, from the COM
miltee on legislation, said that the legisla-
tive committee of the city council had
agreed to recommend TO the legislature a
bill exempting the Exposition property from
taxation, and one fixing the title to the
grounds occupied in the Exposition associa-
ton.
General Manager Palmer returned from
Washington yesterday morning, and at the
meering of the board of directors he eX-
planned the present status of the legislation
asked OF congress regarding the Exposition.
The bill tor admitting foreign goods, in
tended solely for exhibition here, free of
duties will be reached this week and will be
passed without doubt. The bill provides that
if any goods imported shall be disposed of
during the exposition, the duty on such
articles must be paid the same as il
regularly passed through the custom house.
The joint resolution, permitting the
heads of departments at Washington to
loan exhibits to the exposition, provided q
tond is given for their safe return, and no
expense is incurred by such departments,
may not go through, as it will receive the
opposition of the member from the
Louisville district, because the same
privilege was refused the exposition at
Louisville few years ago.
Concerning the prospects for securing
interesting exhibits, Manager Palmer said
yesterday: while in Baltimore L secured
four very attractive exhibits, of great

CAM BELLS "CLsO.n
An Interesting and Spectacular
Drama. Well sutton

"CliO," BARLEY Campbell's spectacular
and romantic drama, began its engagement
at the Grand, last night, to an audience that
jammed the upper part of the house and
well filled the lower. The play. like all of
Bartleys, is filled with pretty and aIlitera-
tive catch sentences, heroic to high degree
and appealing forcibly to the high moral
sentiment which. strangely enough. abounds
most strongly in the gallery. But it is
quite a pretty and interesting play and
romantic, as the bills say, beyond doubt.
1t aboundS in love, honor and jealousy, all
put forth in Campbells pretty plattudes.
The idea is somewhat like 'Lorle," except
that it was IN artists dream, and this is the
dream of sculptor. Unlike ''Lorle, - there
is much Of the spectacular in Clio" the
beautiful statue being chief feature.
There is also somewhat OF the ballet, intro
ducing ten lithe-limbed, gauze clad cory
phees, headed by Mile. Cornalba. 1.-The
worlds great prlma ballerina."
The leading part of Fabian is well taken
by John l.. Burleigh, man of fine figure
and good stage presence, and possessing
many of the elements of fine actor. Miss
Sybil tombstone made an admirable
Lucia" though rather too heroic in voice
and gesture. at times. In the love scenes
she excelled. and in voice and figure re-
minded one of Mary Anderson in several
ways. Miss Pauline Gaty as Countess
Ellis was rather stlted, but otherwise
good and the general cast was above the
average throughout. The play passed off
satisfactorily and with considerable APP
plause some of which was drawn out by
the inconsistency of the court scene in
France, with Roman costumes. Taken
throughout Clio is an interesting and at
tractive play, and should continue to good
business. 1t will run throughout the week.

empties. We reached Portage at s and
should have left at $40. but No. IA was an
hour late, SO it was about 10:4O when we
got away. We stalled on the hill at East
Rio and Hankey split the train, leaving me
with seven cars and the caboose He went
up the hill and backed down on the siding,
and at the same time wild train from the
West came and headed in on us, taking the
side track on the other side of the main
track. Hankey came back and threw the
switch, opening the main track to the siding.
and our part Of the train made fly at the
hind end to join the rest of the train. Han
key was at the switch until the hind end
cleared. This is the switch that caused the
accident, as it remained open and wrecked
the limited half hour later Hankey
claimed that he hollered to me to put up
the switch; but if he did, l didn't hear him.
Frank Mullen, the head brakeman OF the
other train-Kitteridge' train-didnt hear
him, and the engineer of that train didn't
hear, though both Of them were closer than
l was. Mullen was only four or five cars
away at the time. l was some distance
away and heard nothing. The only man
who heard Hankey was Jackson, our mid
die brakeman. who was nearly twenty cars
away from him. He could hear, with the
wind blowing against him, what could not
be heard by men less than quarter the dis
lance. Yet Jackson, who swore at the
trial he heard Hankey, told me two days
before the trial that lie did not hear it.
Well, the switch stayed open and the linn
tied was wrecked. The jury evidently be-
lieved that Hankey did not say so, or if he
did. that did not hear him.
Another point is the fact that Rule So on
our running card says conductors will be
held responsible for the position of switches
after using them; and Rule SO says who
ever turns switch from the main track
must see that it is reset to the main track
and locked. These rules, l think, settled
the responsibility. Of course l felt mighty
bad about the whole thing, but felt entirely
blameless. When the facts came out l got
many friends. including an attorney, who
volunteered to defend me, and Sheriff E. &.
Williams OF Columbia county, whose fam
lily nursed me while l was sick in Jail. Now
l am going home to Owatonna, but l don't
suppose that l could get work on any rail-
road now. The Milwaukee wouldn't even give
me pass back to Milwaukee, when Supt
Collins had promised it to me and knew 1

THE RiO DISASTER.
The Now Noted Bra eman Tells the
First True Story of ats Occurrence.

Clarence II. Wells, the brakeman who
was charged with the negligence resulting
in the horrible disaster at East Rio last
October, reached Minneapolis yesterday
afternoon. He has been Imprisoned ever
since the casualty, and mas only been at
liberty since his acquittal at Portage last
week The story of the terrible disaster is
still fresh in the public mind. as well as the
coroner's verdict holding Wells guilty. and
his arrest and imprisonment. His trial on
the charge of mansaughter occurred last
week and resulted II his acquittal, the jury
having been out for only few minutes.
The true story of the accident has never
been printed ne said TO GLOBE reporter
Yesterday. ''and if you want it, I'll tell you
lust how it occurred. / was the victim
picked out 20 bear the brunt, because
/ was a poor and friendless brakeman,
but my GequiItal shows that OH me,
at least, the blame could not fall. The
whole affair hinges on flying switch,
which Conductor Hankey made that night
and as it is against the law and against the
rules, the effort was made to hush it I'D.
Everybody but me swore there was no fly
made, but / told the truth and the jury be-
Iieved ME. However, here's the story:
I'VE left Milwaukee at 1870 in the
morning with wild train, Conductor Han
key, made up of thirty-two loads and two
